[oe-users] Problem generating uImage for gumstix

I'm an Open Embedded newbee and decided to get my feet wet by attempting a
build for the gumstix platform.

I started out with the gumstix.conf machine type in the distro, and used
generic-uclibc.conf as the distro.

My first build attempt used:

bitbake task-boot

All proceeds well until bitbake tries to install the boot image, and then I
get an error:

| make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/sakoman/perforce/s100/build/tmp/work/gumstix-linux-uclibc/linux-
gumstix-2.6.15-r1/linux-2.6.15'

ERROR: TaskFailed event exception, aborting
NOTE: package linux-gumstix-2.6.15: failed

It seems that bitbake didn't build  uImage.

I reviewed the documentation and added the following to my machine
gumstix.conf:

KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = "uImage"

Then I did a "rm -rf tmp" and "bitbake task-boot"  Still no joy :-(  Same
error.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Steve
